The image of stone-faced Chase Utley staring right into the camera in front of him lingered on the video board at Citi Field for about 20 seconds as the boos began to build. Mets fans, who waited nine years for a playoff game back in Queens, unleashed their venom at Public Enemy No. 1 during introductions before Game 3 of this NLDS on Monday.
Utley’s late slide that broke Ruben Tejada’s leg in Game 2 Saturday was first and foremost on the minds of Citi Field fans before Matt Harvey took the mound in what ended as a 13-7 Met win.
